The
Troegenator Double Bock, is a dark, strong lager (8.2% abv). It
pours into a glass with a bronze to brown color, fluffy white head
and bready malt aroma. The Troegenator leaves a rich, warming
feeling and subtle spicy flavors. The style, Double Bock, dates back
a century or so ago. During periods of fasting without solid foods,
the Monastic brewers relied on the double bock; a stronger, richer
beer to fulfill their basic nutritional needs. Known to them as
"liquid bread," a double bock has a strong malt aroma and chewy rich
body. Traditionally these brewers ended the name of their double
bock with the suffix "ator", ex. Celabrator, Illuminator,
Subliminator... In the spirit of the tradition we give you the
Troegenator to provide warmth and richness through the early spring
months. A double bock of epic proportions, beware, the Troegenator
is deceiving smooth and delicious.

Food Pairings
Since Troegenator is a big beer, it is perfect with big beef—like
grilled steaks and stews. It can also serve as a nice compliment to
sweet, non-chocolate based desserts.

Beer Review by Beer Advocate
Clear, dark and tawny ... inviting if you are into strong dark
lagers. Patchy lacing on the glass, a treat to watch it cling after
each sip. Very clean malt aroma of lightly toasted Portuguese sweet
bread with a ghost of browned apple within. Creaminess is dominant
in the mouthfeel with a pinch of crispness, full bodied. The taste
buds have a massive, dry malt wall of deep toasted grain to climb
with each sip. Hops are on the side with some bitterness to move
everything along. Suggestions of peppercorn and dried figs in the
backdrop. Maltiness still sticks with the drying finish for the most
part, even after the first initial wave of sweetness, which is great
to experience compared to some of the other overly sweet bocks
brewed in the US.

Believe the hype. This beer has garnered a cult status over the
years, and it's a delicious beer that easily ranks within our top
Doppelbocks worldwide.
